the screen is black when loading by grub....

Hi all,

after install archios with 6.1 iso, after install grub and config, reboot.

it shows welcome to grub, then the screen is black, there is no menu to show which os to load and it load to the arch.

I find in twiki:If you are using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with Kernel Mode Setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing e over the entry that you are trying to boot (i686 or x86_64). At the end of the string type nomodeset and press Enter. Alternatively, try video=SVIDEO-1:d which, if it works, will not disable kernel mode setting. See the Intel article for more information.

@kenan which pc do you have? And which video card? With my Lenovo Ideapad S300 i get a black screen during bootloading, because the kernel set the backlight to the minimum level that corresponds to the total black screen

I disabled the KMS in order to complete the installation. Just set "nomodeset" option to the kernel line in grub. I used the legacy mode not the uefi one, so in grub push Tab button. add the nomodeset to the line and then Enter. After the installation i used this udev rule that keep the backlight to a desired level during the bootloading:
